The opening track on what I voted the No. 1 album of the year.
The richness of this full-grown folk singer’s baritone
speaks for itself and nearly defies substantive description. It simply is. PS, he’s 22 years old. I think we’re
done here.

Two
years ago these guys had our album of the year, and Trailer in his
autocratic grace declared, rightly, “The Bird Hunters” our top song. Which
makes it so shocking he would put “Pay No Rent” (respectfully, maybe the
third-best cut on FTM’s #2 Album of the Year) so high, to the exclusion of the
clearly superior “The House Fire.” A disturbing lapse in judgment at best; one
hopes there’s not a deeper character flaw in play.

“I heard the judge ask the jury, ‘which one’s the one to
go?’ Then I heard them say my name, and why I’ll never know.” A song of guilt,
forgiveness and redemption, from the point of view of the criminal pardoned while
the Savior bought ours.
